What are we led by the Spirit to do in worship? It is not to honor & glorify Himself in worship.
John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
So any one honoring the Holy Spirit in worship is NOT honoring the Father AND it is not what the Holy Spirit is leading us to do in worship. Scripture testifies of what He will lead us to do and what He will not lead us to do.
John 3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.30 He must increase, but I must decrease..
As John borne witness as led by the Spirit, so will we as led by the Spirit. He will not talk about Himself in seeking His own glory but of the Son which He will lead us to do as well.
John 5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
John 7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.14 He shall glorify me:
That is why when we testify of the Son in worship be it by song or sermon, we glorify the Son in worship as led bt the Spirit of God so that what we say and sing in worship is true as Another Witness is ndeded to add to our testimony of the Son to be true.
John 8:17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
Make no mistake; the glory of God the Father is in His Son. By glorifying the Son in worship is how we, as led by the Spirit of God to do, glorify God the Father.
John 13:31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
Read what Paul emphasized that all believers obey in how we are to worship.
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:....11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Is it any wonder why the standard of judgment over all believers in how we worship is to honor the Son in all things if we wish to honor the Father as led by the Spirit to do?
